GRAHAM: Time to take 'the dream' to the next level
Dear Fans,
First and foremost I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support of my broadcasting. As most of you already know, it is my dream to become a professional play-by-play announcer for baseball. With the feedback that I have received by professional announcers I know, as well as the fans, I believe that I am ready to take my dream to the next level.
In order to take it to the next level I will need to take a visit to the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings being held in Dallas, Texas this December. As you may have guessed this comes at a cost. While I have been able to cover the costs of hotel and flight I do need to cover one more cost.
I am a member of Sportscasters Talent Agency of America (STAA) and they offer to professionally critique and make a demo CD and resume. They charge $300 for this. I have come to ask for the support of my community and fans to help me cover this one last cost that I face.
I want to be able to go to the baseball winter meetings with the best shot possible of walking out with a broadcasting job, and I believe that this service will greatly improve my chances of getting hired.
Thank you in advance to all who decide to donate to my cause. The easiest way to donate would be to the PayPal account I have already set up under the 'WNC Wildcats Broadcast Travel Fund' that you can find on the broadcasting page at this link: http://carsonnow.org/play-play-chris-graham. I cannot thank you all enough for helping me achieve my dream, and I promise to make you all proud.
Sincerely,
Chris J. Graham
